Tutorials

Hello!

There are many great crafters out there who are really geniuses at compiling very good tutorials for us (for free) and I am happy to recommend a few that I’ve come across and enjoyed. Just click on the links and you’ll be directed to their sites:

1. Cross Stitching

Needlework Tips & Techniques : : This is an introduction to the many types of fabrics used for cross stitching and handy tips for cross stitchers.

Mochimochi Land : This Cross Stitch Basics is delightfully easy to follow because it provides clear photos as instructions. It teaches how to make the ‘X’.

Cross-stitching.com : When you are ready to do more cross stitching, the Youtube helps a lot to uncover other cross stitching techniques. However, I also find this AOL video great for beginners as it gives a step-by-step guide on how to follow a chart.

2. Quilting / Patchwork

Connecting Threads : I find this ‘Nine Patch Lesson‘ great for learning the basics of doing patchwork and quilting. The instructions, photos, videos and tips are really, really easy to understand and there are more lessons available if you want to know more about quilting.

Flossie Teacakes : Florence intended thisPatchwork Quilt Tutorialfor a quilting beginner, using a simple pattern, covering everything from cutting the fabrics, to creating the quilt sandwich, to how to bind it all together. There are also many other fun tutorials prepared by Florence to inspire us, so do have a look! 😀

Homemade Mamas: If you love making stuffs with felt, you’ll enjoy making this lovely African Violet Pincushions

4. Handmade Toys

A HANDMADE KITTEN TOY by One Happy Place : you’ll love this kitten toy idea and it is really easy to make. I tried it and it took me less than 1 hour to finish, from assembling the materials to dangling it before a cat. Active felines will love it!

5. Crochet

Basic : I believe there are hundreds of video tutorials on Youtube, but I’ll look for a website that provides handy guides especially for beginners.

The Crochet Crowd is an excellent place to learn and develop our crocheting skills. There are instructions, videos and free patterns provided, and also a playlist for crochet beginners. Now everyone can crochet! 😀

6. Purse / Handbags

Skip to my Lou :This ‘Reversible Tote Bag Tutorial’ is my most favourite bag tutorial. It is super easy to understand (even for me :D) and my first try was handstitched. But if you have a sewing machine, everything would be much easier and faster to complete. All you need is a wonderful fabric to complement this wonderful pattern.
